Do I Know You?…

Stranger in front of us in queue for toilets at interval at Barbican Hall turns round to us,
Stranger ”Do I know you?”
Me: “I don’t know.”
Stranger “I don't know where I know you from?”
I look back blankly.
Awkward silence.
Stuart, “The Arsenal, maybe?”
Stranger, “That’s it! You’re on the screen before every game. The gay video at the stadium”
Stuart purses his lips
Me, “Ah. OK. That might be it. Not anymore though. There’s a new one up now”
Stranger holding my gaze a little too long for comfort “Ah. Ok. Nice.”
He smiles again. 
Stuart rolls his eyes.
Stuart "Come on, second half's about to start"
